“My turn, now,” said Para. I summon another Jirai Gumo in Attack Mode. Labyrinth Tank’s ATK rises to 4800. Then, I switch Wall Shadow to Attack Mode. Jirai Gumo, attack his Winguard! I call heads again. Tails? How can that be? Para’s lifepoints drop to 1900 and Winguard is destroyed. Wall Shadow, attack Joey directly!

“Slow down there,” said Joey. I activate Skull Dice, which divides your monster’s ATK strength depending on what number I roll. A 2! Your monster loses half its strength! Wall Shadow’s ATK drops to 800 and Joey’s lifepoints drop to 100.

“You’re just delaying your demise,” said Para. I set 1 card and end my turn. (1) Wall Shadow’s ATK returns to 1600.

“Let the party continue,” said Joey. I summon Panther Warrior (2000/1600) in Defense Mode to end my turn. (0)

“Alright,” said Yami as he drew his card. I play Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight (2300/2100) in Defense Mode.

“That’s an illegal move!” said Para.

“You just broke one of the most basic rules,” said Dox. You’ll never defeat us!

“Swift Gaia can be summoned straight from my hand if he is the only card in my hand,” said Yami. With that, I end my turn. (0)

“My turn,” said Dox. I tribute my brother’s Jirai Gumo and Wall Shadow to summon Kazajin (2400/2200) in Attack Mode.  Labyrinth Tank’s ATK drops to 2400 then rises to 3200. I hope you don’t mind that I tributed your monsters.

“Not at all, my brother, we now have a stronger monster out,” said Para.

“Kazajin, destroy his Fierce Knight!” said Dox.

“You’ve activated Spellbinding Circle!” said Yami. Your monster can’t attack.

“I play Remove Trap to destroy Spellbinding Circle,” said Dox. Spellbinding Circle is destroyed. That ends my turn. (1)

“I use my own Monster Reborn to revive Jirai Gumo in Attack Mode,” said Para. Labyrinth Tank’s ATK rises to 4000. Then, I tribute your Labyrinth Tank and my Jirai Gumo to summon Sanga of Thunder (2600/2200) in Attack Mode. Sanga of Thunder, attack Joey directly!

“Joey!” said Tristan, Tea`.

“My brother!” said Serenity.

“I activate Nutrient Z!” said Joey. Whenever I’m about to take 2000 or more damage to my lifepoints, I gain 4000 additional points. Joey’s LPs rises to 4100 then drops to 1500. (Note LPs is the abbreviation I’ll use for lifepoints from now on.) I’m still in the game.

“Whew, that was close,” said Tristan.

“Too close,” said Tea`.

“I think that’s enough for now, so, I end my turn,” said Para. (0)

“I play Scapegoat,” said Joey. This card allows me to summon 4 Goat Tokens (0/0 each) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn. (0)

“My turn,” said Yami. Big Shield Gardna will protect my LP for now. I play Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“It’s time for this duel to end,” said Dox.

“You must draw the Gate Guardian!” said Para.

“Take a look brother,” said Dox. Para and Dox look at Dox’s card and laugh.

“Oh no, they’ve drawn the Gate Guardian!” said Yami.
